The chances of the of the number being much more than zero is highly unlike.
Soon, I’ll post my farewell message. The end is starting to get close. There are many misconceptions about me, and before I go, to live with my ancestors on the steppes, I want to set the record straight.

I seem to recall a truly awful remake of Kirk Douglas' The Vikings (I don't have time to try and find it now...my recollection is that it was made in either the late 70's or early 80's...I think it starred Lee Majors) that actually had a black Norseman...
I saw the movie it was pretty bad. It was neither very entertaining or very accurate in its in back ground. If I remember the story correctly the black Viking was either purchased as a slave or taken in a raid from the Arabs. Both scenarios are not credible. The idea that the Norsemen would use the gold that they got from the sale of Celtics slaves to Arabs to buy a black slaves while their families back home were starving, I just don‘t believe it. In my opinion Viking fierceness was fueled by hunger or memories deprivation more than any innate ferocity. As for the idea of raiding the Arabs, do you think that the Viking would antagonize a good customer like the Arabs by raiding them?

Well none I should imagine. But the movie Thor is not set back in those days but in the present. Granting the premise that the Norse gods are still "up there" then surely brave heroes from Midgard would reach Valhalla still - and not all of them (one would think!) would be ofay.

Also what's with Marvel's obsession with eye patches?

Well, Jim Henson is pretty much dead. Hasn't been a good Muppet since 'Dark Crystal' or 'Labyrinth', not counting Yoda, who's pretty much an entity onto himself.

Thank you Daily Mail for judging The View that way; it's Tabloid vs Tabloid and we should care about either catty bird why?
